Lucas: Practice Visitor Provides Perspective

Saturday, August 25, 2007

Chris Carter, a 35-year-old Apex native, was attending his first Carolina football practice. That's remarkable in and of itself--Tar Heel practice sessions are closed tightly under Davis. Outsiders are forbidden and passerby are discouraged from lingering too long outside the fence that rings the perimeter of the field. But Carter belonged, and not just because he was decked out in a Carolina shirt, hat, and socks. After all, he was there by special invitation of the head coach. (Tar Heel Blue)
